The PRACE-MaX “Tutorial on high-throughput computations: general methods and applications using AiiDA@Cineca” will take place from May 30th 2018 to June 1st 2018 at CINECA, near Bologna in Italy. It is targeted at students, postdocs and researchers interested in applying high-throughput computations in their research and interested in learning how to use the AiiDA platform.

The program includes a tutorial on the AiiDA code but also talks of scientists that use AiiDA in their high throughput research. Registration is open until April 30th 2018. The registration link, requirements that must be met by the applicants and additional information can be found at the following web-page: https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/709

The lunch for the three days as well as an evening buffet will be offered to all the participants by the tutorial sponsors. We will provide financial support to a limited number of accepted participants. More information can be found at the aforementioned tutorial web-page.

March 6, 2018 Comments Off on Nature Nanotechnology March cover features a high-throughput study on novel 2D materials performed using AiiDA

The March 2018 issue of Nature Nanotechnology features a paper by N. Mounet and coworkers who have used AiiDA to identify close to 2000 well-known inorganic compounds that may be exfoliated into novel 2D materials and compute, for a large subset of over 250 of them, their electronic, vibrational, magnetic and topological properties.

We’ve just released version 18.02.0 of the Quantum Mobile Virtual Machine. Quantum Mobile now supports running AiiDA-powered Jupyter Apps (AiiDA Lab) inside Quantum Mobile, just like running them on aiidalab.materialscloud.org.

All details and download instructions can be found on the release page.

A new AiiDA release v0.11.0 is available! You can find more information at our download page.

Amongst other improvements, this release adds simple-to-use test decorators for writing tests of AiiDA plugins. Plugins can now add custom commands to the `verdi data` command line interface

Important things to note:

* The `async` method of `aiida.work.run` module has been removed because it could lead to race conditions causing database inconsistencies. Simply replace any call to `async` in your code with `submit` that is also located in the `aiida.work.run` module
* The `plugin-cmd` branch has been deleted from `aiidateam/aiida_core`. The functionality that it had, has been merged into the release v0.11.0

A detailed overview of a all the changes can be found in the change log.
